Chapter Thirty-Six The Veteran Who Generously Died
In the sky, an old-fashioned biplane propeller plane was flying towards Cairo.
This is the last aircraft and last pilot of the RAF based in Egypt.
They were originally stationed in Egypt because of the war needs of World War I. Now that the British Empire has declared Egypt's independence and the world is on "holiday" after the world war, the British mainland naturally no longer sends troops to Egypt.
The need to replenish the aircraft.
Therefore, Winston, an old pilot, became the last pilot of the Royal Air Force in Egypt. Although he still sticks to his post, he longs to be like his colleagues who died in the war and fight in a mission.
Come to your own death.
Limited by the performance of the aircraft itself and the freedom brought by soaring in the sky, most pilots during World War I were romantic in character, advocating more chivalrous battles like the famous Red Baron, and also longed to fight in a fierce battle.
And died in battle with honor.
Therefore, when Winston received a mission from a veteran to take him into Cairo, the old pilot happily agreed and once again flew the plane, carrying a veteran who was almost the same age as himself, once again
Enter the battlefield and die generously.
"We have entered Cairo, but we may not be able to land. There is no place to land in the city. I can only lower the altitude. You can find a way to parachute!" Driving the plane into the sky above Cairo, Winston sat in the back seat opposite him.
The veteran shouted loudly.
Looking down at the city of Cairo below, he noticed the eye-catching blood-red museum in the city. The veteran knew that was his goal.
So he said to Winston: "Fly towards that museum, find a place nearby and fly low and put me down!"
For a special group of people like veterans, there is no problem in jumping from a height of fifty or sixty meters. In fact, when he was still young, he had done the same thing during the war, flying at low altitude.
Jump off the plane and jump directly into the battlefield.
"No problem, sir! I will place you closest to the battlefield, and you can enter the battlefield directly!" Winston responded excitedly.
Although flying at low altitude is still a very dangerous thing even at the speed of this old World War I aircraft, the feeling of approaching death caused by the danger made Winston, an old pilot, feel like he was alive again.
.
If he could die in this mission and shed blood like his comrades, this would be the ending he had always dreamed of.
He is already old, and he already feels that it is time for him to rise into the blue sky with his comrades.
The veteran noticed Winston's thoughts, but did not dissuade him.
As a veteran, he can understand the pain of having all his comrades die on the battlefield and only he survives.
In fact, if not driven by responsibility and mission, veterans would like to be like Winston and choose to die generously and die on the battlefield instead of watching themselves grow old and die in bed.
However, the veteran also understands that the most important thing at the moment is to fulfill his mission and solve the current disaster in Cairo. Otherwise, even if he does die in battle, he will have failed his honor and responsibility.
With this thought in mind, the veteran climbed out of the cockpit, grabbed the cockpit, stood on the wing, and patted Winston to signal that he was ready.
Seeing this, Winston reduced the speed of the plane and gradually lowered its altitude.
They quickly passed by a building, and Winston was looking for an opportunity for the veteran to jump off.
However, at this moment, the veteran noticed that a group of ghoul-like monsters on the ground were attacking the museum from all directions, and started a fierce battle and killing with the enemies guarding the door of the museum.
Because of the attack of these ghoul-like monsters, the originally dense enemies in the square were obviously attracted to the surrounding streets, and the square seemed empty for a while.
After noticing this, the veteran noticed the pool in the square that was already stained red with blood, and an idea came to his mind.
He patted Winston, pointed to the pool in the square, and asked: "Can you throw me into that pool?"
"No problem! Look at me!" Winston understood what the veteran meant, pushed the joystick, and controlled the plane to fly towards the square.
The plane quickly flew over the square, and Winston slowed down again. In addition, the square was empty, and Winston could be said to be flying close to the ground.
But he didn't care. Instead, he turned his head and said loudly to the veteran standing on the wing about to jump off: "I wish you good luck!"
"I also wish you good luck!" The veteran also offered his blessing to Winston, and then he seized the opportunity of the plane passing over the pool, jumped off the wing, and jumped into the pool that was already full of blood.
among.
The water in the pool was not deep, but with the skill of the veteran, he was able to use the water in the pool to cushion his momentum of jumping out of the plane, and he quickly climbed to the shore.
He took off the knight's sword that he carried on his back for ease of movement, and looked at the garter on his leg that was stained red with blood and the words "honi soit, qui mal y pense" on it. The veteran pulled out the sword.
Fighting with the surrounding enemies.
However, he did not rush towards the museum immediately, but approached a nearby street.
Before jumping down just now, he looked around carefully and noticed that at the same time as those ghoul-like monsters were attacking, there was also a group of black-clad soldiers attacking here.
Although he didn't know who he was, those who were advancing here at this time could be regarded as companions. And remembering that O'Connor told him before that there were people in the city trying to stop this, the veteran naturally planned to join them first and gather their strength together.
.
At this time, Winston in the sky naturally pulled the joystick to pull the plane up after the veteran jumped off.
Although he planned to die in battle, Winston did not directly fly the plane to the museum. He just wanted to die in battle, not to commit suicide.
However, just as he passed by the entrance of the museum, a spear suddenly flew out from the entrance of the museum and slammed into the nose of the plane!
Although the spear was broken by the propeller on the nose of the plane in just a moment, the spear also broke the wooden propeller.
Winston, who noticed this, did not try to make an emergency landing of the plane. Although he had a high probability of surviving if he made an emergency landing now, Winston, who had long been determined to die, did not intend to survive. Instead, he pressed the joystick.
He pointed the nose of the plane at the bald head who threw a spear at him at the entrance of the museum and slammed into it.
